Following a 5-day family law trial regarding unjust enrichment and spousal support, the applicant sought full recovery costs of $59,083.06.
The respondent acknowledged entitlement but argued for partial recovery and significant reductions, including offsets for costs thrown away due to a prior trial adjournment.
The court awarded the applicant partial recovery costs of $18,750, applying deductions for a previously decided civil application, duplication of counsel, and a $7,000 offset for the respondent's costs thrown away.
